Arsenal performance chief Shad Forsythe: Late goals a positive

Published on: 28 March 2017

Arsenal performance chief Shad Forsythe says a positive this season has been their late goals.

With 56 goals is 27 Premier League games this season, the Gunners have only been outscored by Liverpool and table-toppers Chelsea in the top flight - having played fewer games than either of their rivals.

Speaking about Arsenal's propensity for scoring late goals this season, performance chief Shad Forsythe told the club's official website: "We do.

"The one thing that is sneaky about Arsenal is we are one of the best sprinting teams in the league, and I do put that do to also being very strong.

"We emphasise it in training with repeated sprints, and nine out of 10 goals are scored at the end of a sprint.

"So if we're sprinting the most at the top of the league, we should be scoring more goals, and I think we are."
